When the mother and children returned home, Jiang Mingzhu took Mingxu and Bao'er to brush their teeth and go to bed, while Gu An'an went to the kitchen.

Sure enough, the plate of spring rolls and meatballs that had been left there had disappeared.

It's smart of them not to take the bowl away.

Gu An'an picked up the bowl but hadn't left the stove when her left hand was grabbed.

"It's sour, Mother, don't eat it."

These words startled Gu An'an, who then carefully sniffed the soup in the bowl. "Is it sour?"

How come she didn't smell it?

Jiang Mingxu was not tall, but his attitude was very firm: "Sour food doesn't taste good."

These words reminded Gu An'an of the time Jiang Mingxu pointed out the mistakes of the apprentice at the pharmacy.

Could it be that this child really does have an inexplicable connection with medicine?

There was definitely a laxative in those meatballs.

Jiang Da Sao seems to be a kind and easy-going person, but she is actually quite shrewd.

How could I possibly admit my mistake? I can't let that taciturn guest blackmail me.

That person was sent by Bai Qiaoyin; he must be sick to keep helping her.

Gu An'an doesn't consider herself a heartthrob.

Ultimately, it was Sister-in-law Jiang who had ulterior motives.

What's the point?

It's unlikely to be murder for money.

However, given Jiang's personality, it's understandable that she would be interested in her cooking skills.

The best way is to make yourself willingly teach her how to make this "Golden Abundance".

The second step is to find the ingredients yourself and figure out how to cook them.

Gu An'an would have to be crazy to hand over her livelihood to Sister-in-law Jiang, and Sister-in-law Jiang probably knows that too.

So, Sister-in-law Jiang apologized and invited Jiang Qiaoqiao to dinner, while Jiang Qiaoqiao, a thief, stole something, and the mother and daughter worked together.

Before leaving home, Gu An'an specially prepared a bowl of meatballs and a plate of spring rolls, sprinkling some laxatives into the meatballs.

If the thief hadn't come, it would have just been a waste of a bowl of ingredients.

But Jiang Qiaoqiao did come after all, didn't she?

Gu An'an adopted a two-pronged approach, determined that Jiang Da Sao would have no energy left to cause trouble in the next few days.

She poured out the soup from the bowl and rinsed it with water.

"Okay, can you still smell it?"

Jiang Mingxu took the bowl and smelled it. "There's still a little bit left."

That's a dog's nose, isn't it?

Gu An'an rinsed it twice more with clean water.

This little rascal has finally calmed down.

Jiang Mingxu tugged at Gu An'an's sleeve.

Gu An'an, being very perceptive, picked her up and said, "Let's go back to the room and get some sleep."

Jiang Qiaoqiao hurriedly returned home and took the spring rolls and meatballs out of her handkerchief.

"Mother, please tell me how to do it."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone knocked on the door from outside, "Is sister-in-law home?"

It's Jiang Ersao.

Jiang Da Sao quickly put away the ingredients in the handkerchief and went to open the door.

"Xiaofei's dad went to pick up his mom, but he hasn't come back yet. Shall we go check on him?"

Jiang Ersao glanced at Jiang Qiaoqiao, who was sitting there with her back to her, and said, "Qiaoqiao, you're back. Where have you been? Your mother just invited your third aunt's family to dinner. There was so much good food, but you didn't get to eat any."

Jiang Qiaoqiao was holding a handkerchief full of meatballs and spring rolls in her hand. She turned around with a smile on her face and said, "My third aunt doesn't like me, so I won't bother her."

Hearing this, Jiang Ersao clicked her tongue and sighed, "With her terrible temper, not many people can stand it."

As they were talking, Jiang's sister-in-law pushed them out to go find Old Lady Jiang and take her home.

Grandma Jiang really drank too much. When you're drunk, you're as heavy as a rock. Luckily, both of Jiang's daughters-in-law are strong.

Only then were they able to get the person home.

"That little slut Gu An'an is going against me? Just wait and see how I deal with her!"

Jiang Ersao laughed when she heard this, and quickly pulled her husband back into their own house, asking, "What's wrong, Mother?"

"What else can we do but try to get rid of them?"

She was humiliated, but luckily she was in a small town and didn't know many people.

Otherwise, with that kind of temper, wouldn't he have torn Gu An'an's face to shreds?

Jiang Ersao's eyes widened upon hearing this, "Could it be..."

"Hmm, but don't tell me."

They can quietly take advantage of this kind of thing later; there's no need for everyone to know it.

"Am I such an unreliable person?" Jiang Ersao felt secretly pleased when she heard this. She had suffered a lot of humiliation from Gu An'an these past few months, but now she had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

very nice.

Jiang's wife was a step behind, as she had to help her mother-in-law to bed before she could return to her own room.

Jiang Qiaoqiao was already asleep.

Looking at her daughter, Sister-in-law Jiang tucked the blanket in for her. She had never aspired to be an official's wife in her life.

But Qiaoqiao is different. She only has one daughter, and she has to find a future for Qiaoqiao.

As for the possibility of harming Gu An'an, she didn't care about that anymore.

If a person doesn't look out for themselves, they'll be punished by heaven and earth!

After carefully putting away the spring rolls and meatballs in the bowl, Sister Jiang looked at them quietly, as if they were not ingredients, but a bowl of gold nuggets.

She couldn't afford to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

...

With no food supplies at home, Gu An'an didn't plan to go to the county to do business.

Early in the morning, she entrusted Jiang Mingxu and Bao'er to Aunt Li's care and then took Jiang Mingzhu and Jiang Mingyi up the mountain.

A few days ago, the little tiger had recovered from its injuries and was back on the mountain frolicking.

Gu An'an was still a little worried, so she took advantage of the good weather to go up the mountain to see if she could find any lone prey. She also wanted to see if she could spot the little guy. She didn't see a tiger; she was actually quite lucky.

We encountered several pheasants halfway up the mountain.

Before Gu An'an could even pull out the entrenching tool, Jiang Mingzhu excitedly grabbed her hand, "Mom, over there, over there."
